This week’s guest on the (art)Scene Podcast is Oakland-based artist Esteban Raheem Abdul Raheem Samayoa whose art practice focuses on charcoal, airbrush painting, and most recently mixed media painting and installation. For our conversation I had the pleasure of visiting Esteban in his studio in Oakland to discuss his early beginnings in Sacramento and the community he surrounds himself with that ultimately inspires much of his work. We also discussed his new solo exhibition titled Ain’t No Dogs in Heaven currently up at Pt. 2 Gallery through September 9, 2023.

After a brief hiatus, I am back with a brand new episode featuring Oakland based artist and graphic designer, Lenworth Macintosh who is also goes by Joonbug. On today’s episode you’ll hear us discuss his background in creating his own clothing brand, his graphic design work and his eventual foray into the fine art world. We also discussed his recent solo show at Pt. 2 Gallery and the mural he created along the side of the Fox Theater in Oakland.
